And I was referring more to games which have you abuse other characters, broaching abuse as an element and studying it for what it is is ok. Hell, I’d even argue we need more games which show the effects and repercussions of abuse…
It doesn’t matter if it’s done by a playable or non-playable character in my opinion. My litmus test is if you can write a book with it’s depictions, then you can show it in a game too. The only difference is the audience.
edit: and by “write” I mean “without it becoming a hateful manifesto”
Fair enough, should’ve phrased it as “where the abuse is presented as a positive in any way, or is the goal in order to obtain gratification,” what you said is essentially what I was thinking:))
I think a lot of people understood that I wanted to start a censorship war with porn, but it’s not at all what I meant. I would just keep the inhuman, the monstruous stuff away from shelves, and by that I don’t mean kinks and such.
Myeah :-<… it’s a damned shame, though…
